Justin Fields Made the Team! Here’s a Look at the Bears’ 53-Player Roster

Of course Justin Fields made the team. QB1 put up a 90.4 grade from PFF for his preseason exploits, which featured Fields going 23-for-30, throwing for 243 yards, and 3 touchdowns. Perhaps the most important stat from PFF is that he had no turnover-worthy plays. It’s just the preseason caveats aside, minimizing potential game-changing negative plays while simultaneously big-game hunting (6.7% big-time throw rate this preseason is impressive considering Joe Burrow’s number was at 6.4% last year for comparison) could help Fields take a huge leap if it can translate to the regular season.

But enough about Fields. What about the rest of his teammates?

  • Of course, this won’t be the FINAL roster. The waiver period opens on Wednesday. And trades could still be in the offing. In other words, don’t get too comfortable with this roster because there is a real chance it’ll change between now and when Week 1 kicks off in 12 days.
